Answer 1

B)

Step-by-step explanation:

Chandragupta has founded the Maurya Empire and built a large empire in ancient India. Magadha was an ancient India kingdom and it was ruled by the evil dynasty Nanda.

• Chandragupta defeated the Magadha kingdom at first by plundering their villages located near borders and then he was defeated in Nanda's capital city.

• The second strategy didn't work either so the third one was to slowly establish the garrisons in territories. His third strategy did work and he killed the king Dhana Nanda.
